Can you walk away from your business and have it still run?

​​↑THAT is the big question.

And in this episode, Jess Derose, online business coach extraordinaire, spills SO MUCH GOLD when it comes to the TRUTH behind building SUSTAINABLE online businesses, especially as you are scaling.

Two juicy topics we cover...

1. Things she's seeing in the industry that are problematic
2. Why she started a new Instagram account completely from scratch, after having 20K+ followers for many years.

This is the first of many interviews I'll be doing with successful entrepreneurs called #AWKWARDTIME.

​​In this awkward time series we are pulling back the curtain to the success, so you can see what it TRULY took, what each interviewee would do differently today, AND some vulnerable moments that will make you not feel so alone in this entrepreneurial journey!

I recorded this heart to heart mid-launch to show you what's possible when you open yourself up to making money in ways that "weren't planned."

If you're a semi-control freak like me I know this will be hard, but I promise, you'll enjoy your business and this entire entrepreneurial journey SO MUCH MORE if you are flexible, can adapt quickly, and realize opportunities will fall in your lap you didn't plan for…

IF you are open to them.

I hope you enjoy this one. I sure enjoyed recording it for you ;)

We end with them each sharing why they'd recommend SOSA for business owners.

They all started at slightly different points in their business, but were in their first few years, in the foundation building phase.

💰Day 3 is all about Appropriately PRICING Your Offer

"How do I price my offer?"

↑Hands down one of the most debated and stressed over questions out there in the online space.

In today's training I'm helping you pick a starting price for your offer by considering three factors:

1: The industry frames of reference for different offers. There's no rule for how to price, but there are guidelines — and I'll give them to you here.

2: How to design a payment plan that works for everyone who's right for your offer

3: Adapting your offers to the economy & world changes that affect your audience: Discussing downsells, payment plans, and evergreen vs open close cart offers

SELLING THE OFFER BONUS: Real life examples of effectively selling different price point offers at the same time.

Pricing can be a tricky egg.

You want to take your client and their lifestyle into consideration, of course and make it as fair as possible.

But you also don't want to price it so low that people who AREN'T right for your offer join, and then don't apply themselves, because it's barely a drop in the bucket.

It's gotta be a price they take SERIOUSLY.

You also need to pay the bills and deserve to get paid WELL for the work you do. The transformations you provide are WORTH it. I know😎

In addition to what I listed above we'll also talk about ethical pricing...AND I'll share mistakes I've made along the way, in addition to grossly under charging.

❤️Day 2 is all about HOW you help your client experience a transformation: the deliverables and framework of your offer.

This training is MEATY and has three really essential parts.

Part 1: Framework

Now that you know WHAT that transformation is (from Day 1!), we must map out the specific steps you take them through to get there. How do you take them from their 'before' to their 'after'? What are the 'in-between' steps that happen? This is where you'll use your skills and experience!

Part 2: Timeline

Here are a few things to consider when determining your offer timeline. ⁣

⁣

1. Size of Transformation (1-10)⁣
2. Risk of Transformation (1-10)
3. Realistic Timeline Needed to Achieve These Things⁣
4. Stretch Timeline Needed to Achieve These Things⁣
5. Happy Medium⁣

⁣

I'm gonna explain these five parts more deeply in today's training as well as what should go INTO your offer (Part 3 of today's training):

Part 3: Deliverables

• # of calls
• Video modules
• Messaging apps
• Email communication

And how to know what to include and how MUCH of each deliverable is necessary for your client to experience a real transformation.

And of course, we can't forget the…

SELLING THE OFFER BONUS: Real life examples of effectively selling the framework and deliverables from me & clients.

By the end of today's training you will know what you're putting in your offer from beginning to end as well as how long it should be.

It's a juicy one 😎

Woop Woop! Welcome to the Podcast version of my 3-Day Free Live Course: Create & Market Your Next Sold Out Offer.

For the next three episodes you'll get to listen to the video trainings for each day of this live course.

Today is Day 1: All about getting clear on the TRANSFORMATION your offer provides and creating messaging to match it.

You HAVE to create your offer with your client in mind. I know that sounds like an obvious statement, but I've coached hundreds of people at this point, and you'd be surprised how often people forget this crucial point!

Questions you'll be able to confidently answer by the end of today's podcast

1: What is your audience TRULY getting out of your offer & where does it fall within their journey?

2: What messaging points do you have to touch on for them to truly understand the VALUE of your offer, which peaks their interest to apply?

3: We'll touch on the current climate in the economy & how you can brainstorm some lower ticket down-sell options for people who aren't financially ready to invest in your bigger transformative offer.

And then we'll close it up with…

SELLING THE OFFER BONUS where I'll share real life examples of effectively selling the transformation from me & clients.

This is probably the most important day because you could have the best price and the most clear deliverables in your offer and STILL not sell it the way you want to…IF this part is off.

The transformation MUST match what the client is wanting and what YOU can deliver on.

But not to fret my friend, we got you.

What else is new, I'm admitting an embarrassing truth on this Heart to Heart episode…

There was a point in my business where my motivation to make more $$ was to impress other coaches on Instagram.

WOOF.

And hey, you know the old saying "whatever gets ya going?"

The thing is…I was already going. I didn't need to 'get going.'

But pretty quickly my sole purpose was to beat myself so I could "shine on Instagram" and have the baddest numbers, proving I was the best…right? 🙄

I dive DEEP into it in this episode, but let's just say…that motivation quickly became toxic, not sustainable, and deeply contributed to my marriage going downhill.

We talk through how to keep your motivation to build wealth connected to a deeper purpose so it fuels you during really tough entrepreneurial seasons and doesn't leave you trapped, playing the comparison game.

I give you some great questions to really mull over, which I hope will reset your motivations and help you make more $$ than you ever thought possible.

To evergreen or not…THAT is the question!

Earlier this year I went 'evergreen' with my group program, and recently turned my new mastermind evergreen (something I've never done before with a high ticket program).

I am LOVING it and in this episode I share WHY I decided to go evergreen with these two programs, what I had to adjust to make it work for the client, and how my SELLING strategies are a bit different because of this change in format.

Whether you decide to go evergreen or not, or stay in an open/close cart, I have no doubt this episode will shine some light on all the different options you have to run your business. There is no ONE way, and my hope is that you'll really leave this episode believing that fully.
